Merit Increases

loaded into job data on Friday, August 22, 2014.
•
We experienced approximately 300 errors in the staff
raise file and 200 errors in the faculty raise file due to
future dated job rows.
•
HRS manually corrected each error by inserting a job row
effective July 1, 2014 awarding the merit increase.
•
Departments should review the job data records of
employees with job actions effective after July 1, 2014 to
ensure accuracy.

Additional University Employment
•
If an employee’s primary position is
non-exempt, the secondary department is often
required to pay overtime for the secondary
position.
•
Whenever the employee’s primary rate of
pay increases, you must increase the rate
of pay on the secondary appointment.
•
You do not need to send an updated
HR-600 form; however, you must complete an
ePAF to adjust the rate of pay.
